If only houses could talk... oh, the beautiful stories this home would tell of laughter, children running and laughing in the halls and playing hide and seek among the redwoods, history, family barbecues, campfires, parties, love, and most of all, this home would be proud of the haven that it created for almost 90 years for the same family!
